Rashid Shaheed hasn’t played a game for Seattle yet, but he already sees his future there. “I’m here to stay, man. We can figure something out after the season ends,” the new Seahawks receiver said Wednesday, via FOX13 Seattle. Shaheed, who becomes a free agent after the season, said he plans to be in Seattle “long-term.” The optimism makes sense — Shaheed already knows offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s system from their time together in New Orleans. Before a meniscus injury ended his season last year, Shaheed posted 20 catches, 349 yards, and three touchdowns in six games for the Saints, showing his ability as a deep-play threat.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is sending his game jersey to the Pro Football Hall of Fame after making NFL history last Sunday. Little drilled a 68-yard field goal — the longest in league history — to close the first half of Jacksonville’s 30-29 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas. The Hall of Fame asked for a memento from the record-setting kick, but Little decided to keep the ball and his cleats, opting instead to send his jersey. “I just started wearing those cleats last week, so I’m not giving them the cleats,” Little said Wednesday. “And I wanted to keep the ball. I think the ball is special. I think that’s the coolest part about it.” The kick surpassed the previous record of 66 yards, set by Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens in 2021.

Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge. He was connected to a May shooting in Miami, authorities confirmed Thursday. According to Miami police spokesman Mike Vega, the 37-year-old was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Dubai and transported to Essex County, New Jersey. He is being held pending extradition to Miami. It remains unclear how long Brown had been in Dubai, though he had posted on social media from the city in recent months. An arrest warrant alleges that Brown grabbed a handgun from a security staffer following  a celebrity boxing event and fired two shots at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a man with whom he had earlier fought. Nantambu told police one bullet grazed his neck. Court documents do not list an attorney for Brown, and no timetable has been announced for his return to Miami. If convicted, the second-degree attempted murder charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time All-Pro, played 12 NFL seasons — most notably with the Pittsburgh Steelers — and last appeared in 2021 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He recorded 928 receptions, 12,291 yards, and 83 touchdowns over his career.

It was a painful night for Geno Smith and the Las Vegas Raiders — both figuratively and literally. During Thursday’s 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos, Smith suffered a quad contusion early in the fourth quarter after being tripped up by Nik Bonitto and then hit late by Malcolm Roach, whose knee inadvertently slammed into Smith’s leg. Trainers checked on the 35-year-old quarterback as he limped to the sideline, with Kenny Pickett briefly replacing him before Smith returned later in the game, clearly limited. “Obviously, I just played a game, so it’s not feeling the best,” Smith said afterward. “But I’ll be better as the days go along, hopefully.” Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed the injury wasn’t expected to be serious. “It’s not like some other injuries,” Carroll said. “This is not one that he can’t get back from.” Smith endured a rough night overall, completing 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards, one interception, and taking six sacks against a relentless Denver defense. With the loss, the Raiders’ offensive woes deepened.

The Denver Broncos managed to extend their winning streak to seven games on Thursday, their longest since 2015. However, it was far from pretty in a 10-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite the victory, Denver’s offense struggled mightily, finishing with just 10 first downs, two turnovers, and moving backward on the final drive before Wil Lutz’s game-winning field goal. According to NFL Research, the Broncos became only the third team since 2000 to win a game while scoring 10 or fewer points, gaining 10 or fewer first downs, and committing multiple turnovers. “We’ve got to find some juice somewhere,” running back J.K. Dobbins said after the game. “The defense is carrying us right now. We’ve got to do our part.” Both offenses were equally stagnant. Denver and Las Vegas each recorded 10 first downs and 11 penalties, marking just the second time since 1950 that both teams in a game had more penalties than first downs. Still, head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Geno Smith (who threw for just 143 yards) were relieved to escape with the win, even if it came with boos from the home crowd. “I’ve been booed before and I’ll be booed again,” Payton said with a shrug. The Broncos improved to 8-2, but their offense remains a glaring concern heading into the season’s second half.
